Glad she is starting her dance parties in there purple :) she still has plenty of time! i wouldnt worry unless your others had a history of being breech or not turning..3 of my 4 have been sunny side up babies until they were born..DD1 was born vaginally that way (dont ask me how cause i really dont know but it was a 17 hour labor to say the least) DD2 was the only one in proper position and probably why she came so early and easily..DD3 was sunny side up and its probably why i DIDNT get to have her sooner than 39 weeks and this one, DD4, so far is the EXACT SAME as DD3 so i am already devastated and just gonna suck it up lol

DS1 was breech at 32 but had turned by 34 weeks. DS2 was head down and staying that way from 25 weeks... It was pretty uncomfortable as he would engage more every appointment, it felt like he would just fall out sometimes! He still only arrived at 39+4.

This baby has been lying so low from the start even at my 20 week scan the ultrasound guy couldn't get a good head circumference because he was behind my pubic bone. It's soo painful having him so low.

Yep its standard here in Australia, I had to do it twice as I am considered "advanced maternal age" and they have lowered the numbers for a positive result so lots more women are being diagnosed with it.

Same is true for the United States.

It is standard but I haven't done it since DS1 and that was the 1 hour test but I passed very easily. They are fine with me declining but some recent changes at the next closest hospital to me is making all women who want to homebirth through their program do the test. I'm sure mine will follow soon but hopefully not too soon. They are also forcing women to do the GBS swab which I plan to decline as I don't want antibiotics. If they make me do it I just won't be swabbing it anywhere.

I have never been asked to take this test ever and this is baby number 4! Odd how things are different in different places

My sister is currently in hospital for monitoring as they think she has pre-eclampsia, they are thinking about induction in Monday. Another piece of process for me as am actually am excited to meet my niece, am sure I will feel jealous at some point as she will be sooooooo cute but I bought her a wee outfit and brought it to the hospital and I really did not feel sad buying it! X

That should have read sister in law! X

I hope your SIL is okay Girlie and that they do induce if needed. Snuggle that baby and tell her how happy her auntie is to meet her...because obviously some part of you is happy :) glad you enjoyed buying the outfit and just know the mixed feelings of meeting your niece are very normal and acceptable with gender disappointment...I will have them as i hold my nephew for the first time too, coupled with the surreal feeling of how i will never have a little boy like the one snuggled in my arms, will be joy that somewhere in that little person is my husband too thanks to genetics..and then the healing begins. with lots of cuddles and kisses :)
